Blues in the Night

AllMusic Review
by John Bush

This 16-track Japanese budget collection includes early '40s material by Dinah Shore, several tracks of which were recorded with Xavier Cugat and His Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra. It does include a few of her better songs ("Blues in the Night," "Love Me or Leave Me," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"), but the audio quality is terrible; it was obviously recorded from vinyl masters, and the crackly sound isn't much better than you'd expect from an average turntable.
